One Imperial

One Imperial, strategically located within the establish township of Sungai Ara, Penang. Comprises five blocks of condominium with a total of 768 units. Cheapest unit has an indicative price of slightly below RM400,000 with the size of 1,050 sq. ft.

I went to check on the imperial residence. Overall there are still quite a number of units to be grabbed now. Right not, this is by far the most affordable newly launch project. I’m not too sure if I should buy one for myself given than it is actually quite high dense there. However, schools etc are quite nearby just have to mind the traffic I guess?

Can you share the material or link? There was a proposed direct road to sPICE as well during the launching of Golden Triangle, but later on they said they will only widen the road in front of Golden Triangle. So for this case, Ideal is going to build it? Comment from the Tunas Muda boss earlier that the fly over will cost 50M and no developer can do it without the fund from federal gov. Until I see any official link showing the federal gov approved the fly over with funding, to me “proposed” is equal to none.

Pls go to Ideal office and pick up the broucher for Imperial Residenses, look out for the location map of the project and you will notice the proposed flyer to Spice. However not sure who gonna pay for it, but Ideal should play a part.

So you meant the broucher. Then the proposed flyover to sPICE was there during the first condo launching there. It could still be a proposed flyover during the last condo launching at that area.

The whole piece of land is belong to Tunas Muda, and they split it to different development by different developer. Each developer need to contribute to the road network and widening at that area. And the boss of Tunas Muda already declared that they are not going to bare the cost of building the flyover.

@Hemsley
U got your point. Proposed can be none ! Yes, that flyover was just proposed. It’s not been approved yet. Too early to conclude that. It might be the one way type flyer that similar to what we have now at Lam Wah Ee.

I personally prefer to add more premium in health insurance with investment type protection rather than MRTA or MLTA to offset the risk. Only greedy bankers will say it’s compulsory to buy MRTA/MLTA because they can earn more.

I have recently driven pass this project site. It appears they are beginning construction from blocks A & B. Block B was most advanced, built up to level 5 as on 12 Jan 2014. Block A was at level 3 or 4, catching up with block B.

I did not manage to see what’s going on for the other blocks (C,D,E). Possibly still in early stages.

hi all,
would like to check something with all of you…i received letter and ask me to pay for the fire insurance… has anyone else received this?
should i pay for this or i can ignore this as the building isn’t completed and why i hav to pay for the fire insurance..

@CTL
Hi, I get the same letter also, where I am under Maybank loan.
The Maybanker who do the loan for me, inform me that I need to pay, and when I go to Maybank for payment, the another loan officer told me that I do not need to, as the unit still CIP, where developer already insured and paid for that.
This Etiqa fire insurance actually double insured, and we can waive for the premium during CIP. (The person who do the loan for you suppose do for you, just usually they lazy and don’t wish to help, and ask you just pay that).

The loan officer is kind enough to help me submit waive form, and after 2 months, I received the letter to waive the premium with reason stated “double insured”.

@Lucky
Hi Lucky, Im taking Maybank loan as well..Yes, the Maybanker also ask me to pay for it. How can they so irresponsible for this, must go Maybank check with the banker and ask for the waive.
Thanks for the info.

Well, this is because they need go back to developer to get a set of insurance policy that they insured to prove that the whole building in CIP is already insured in order to waive the fire insurance separately charge to us.

To them, this is extra work and do not bring commision/income to them. So they usually ignore and lie to property owner that this is standard you need to pay.

For someone RM150+ per year, is nothing big deal to pay it, but I don’t like to pay extra for something that I don’t need to.

But advise is, eventhough we suppose not to pay that premium but adviseable to make proper process to waive that, else it will forever due from you this amount.
Time past and after the building complete and han over to you, you may find more difficult to wwaive that.

Housing loan usually requires the fire insurance to secure the unit for the tenure of loan (20-30 yrs depending how many years you entred).
However, our case our unit is still “in construction” stage, which the developer usually already insured for whole building along the construction period.

Therefore any fire insurance charged to you when the unit still in construction period (not yet hand over to you), considered double insured and suppose able to waive.

Any one had receive letter from Bank to ask you to pay the Monthly progresive Interest ?
I recieve Affin Bank letter today, and ask me to pay for the Monthly progresive Interest, RM460.xx
Mine is 90% loan, and it is DIBS package, this letter should sent directly to Developer and cc to me……..
ANy one having the same problem?

According to Ideal, the letter served as cc to you only. The one suppose to pay is Ideal.
But play safe, pls refer to you banker to confirm.
Also I not sure Ideal will only pay the DIBS until 80% construction for OI project.

I pass by the site almost everyday. The construction seems to be progressing very fast.
Block A and B have reached very high floors, seems almost the top. Block C D and E are
well into the first few floors.

khc :Is a market going to be built just beside one imperial? Is it good? For owner?

….I went there and saw a sign board “proposal” to built a market and foodcourt same as the location as per location displayed in one of the picture (#6) above.
cannot really make out the wording seems like TAPAK MASJID printed on the same picture (just at the junction behind the newly built PETRONAS station)

Tapak Masjid printed on the same picture?! it means we have to bear the speaker sound every day from the masjid nearby us?

can you try reading the wordings in the pictures#6 (the one b4 the google mapped view picture).
I can managed to read TAPAK MAS…
if “yes” then…..TGT and OI subsale/rental prices among other consideration would only be good for some people

I own a unit as I believe in the developer. Look at the recent projects launched after this One Imperial. This developer is growing steadily. Somemore it’s location is good near to Airport, 2nd Bridge and Spice.

From the link above I noticed that the One Imperial plot is there as the brochure shown.
One thing is that why Imperial Residence and One Imperial plots are overlapping each other? You can also notice from there that the entrance, Block A & B of OI (If I’m not mistaken judging from the images of the map)are so much set back from the boundary of OI. Is there anyone can check it out and comment on this matter?

The plot from wikimapia will be wrong as well. U can go developer office and check it properly.

Early of this month, I got the call from banker (HLB) chasing for interest payment on my housing loan. I told the banker, my loan was linked to the DIBS project, perhaps they should call the developer instead of me. I called Ideal sale office and were informed that they got the advice payment late, just about to arrange the payment… i think this just an easy excuse they could finds. Any purchasers here got the same experience?

Visited OI site yesterday.Blocks A,B,and C have or almost completed and white-washing of #A has started.The rest have reached the midlevel.Could see that the construction of the market located behind the#C,D and E is in full swing.According to the workers there,it would take another 6 months to complete the whole construction,giving the impression that OC can probably obtained in the end of 2015 or erly 2016.

@ae86
I do ask this question to IDEAL during I sign for it, they do not direct answer me this question. In fact, I know they will cause Fiera Vista is confirm appointed to IBOX. I just visit it today. You can search for Fiera Vista forum, you will know about it.

i am really doubt of the quality from ideal now…the water leaking in my condo now is a big problem…it might not show up when you just test it within warranty periode (1 year) but just right after that and now, it show up in many units…this is due to poor water prooving work and over the time, it slowly leak through.
Can you imagine you just move into a brand new condo but having leaking issue which is most headache part that people mostly worry for old condo above 10 years????
i am staying in one world now and the owner above my unit do not want to fix it just because his house also having same problem and the owner above him do not want to fix it..plaster ceiling also got hole so ugly… pissed off !!!

@hundredplus
Warranty period normally is 18months but the problem is your upper unit owner dont want ppl entry his house u really cant do anything….
Looks like your problem same as my fren current condo
His second room totally cant stay but not fr one world….

Green color still can acceptable. Have u notice some other completed projects painted with grey & white color only. Is it enforce by the state goverment to standardize all the high rise building colors? Such like Elit height, Golden Triangle, Idaman Lavendar, Zan Pavillion, Garden & Sierra ville, and ……..

My opinion on especially Penang new projects on external design,color,material used and workmanship compared to other countries is not up to professional level even though the pricing is among the highest in Malaysia.
If you would used to travel often to oversea you will agree with me. Take for example comparing HK, Taiwan,Singapore or even China.
We are more likely on entry level of standard.

yes,..fully agree,…by I guess you get what you paid for…if one is to compare the price of the condo (with these negative comments) in M’sia; with the price of the countries you had just mentioned. I believes there are “entry level” or below par condos in those countries too.

I wonder why the above new condos all using the same colour– grey & white only for the outside wall ??

The duck shit green paint was left over from Fiera Vista project.
Hope Ideal will finish all this paint on One Imperial so that they won’t use it on Imperial residence as I had bought one unit there. Hahaha….

Pity penangites buy house already expensive, some more worry about the color of the property they purchased or worst case worrying wearing ‘green hat’ as Tina mentioned.
Wonder most of the architects need to be re trained especially color application on the outlook of the condo so that one day we can have peace of mind.

@Bern
green color apply to one side only, u must go to the front block then u can see
Actually apply some dark color can make it look more outstanding instead of all painted with same or light color on the buiding outlook
